Man, if my brains were in a computer, just think of all the wonderful pleasure in life we'd miss out on that specifically deal with injuring the meat itself! To name a couple...
alcohol
nicotine
THC & friends
But then again, I suppose you could simulate those effects as well...(Not to mention caffeine and other assorted stimulants - but I guess you could just overclock yourself.;) )
Wouldn't it be easier, in the end, to just replace all the failing cuts of meat in our bodies as they break? And, as tech. allows, gradually enhance our brains by eating nanites and getting implants and stuff like that... I'd rather have a mech. body and a mostly wet brain that could at least plug into the matrix or whatever. That would be essential - escape from the meat (be it metal meat or meaty meat)... but it will probably remain useful to have a real world manifestation...

Just curious - but how small can these things go before quantum interference takes its toll?
And whatever happened to gallium arsenide instead of silicon?
